Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A new CoReCare Questionnaire assesses patient-partner co-responsibility in remote care. This tool enhances patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) by capturing social dynamics crucial for remote health outcomes.
Area Of Science
- Health Services Research
- Patient Experience Research
- Digital Health
Background
- Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are vital for assessing healthcare quality.
- Ambulatory care models increasingly involve remote settings, necessitating evaluation of patient, family, and professional interactions.
- Existing PREMs do not adequately capture the co-responsibility dynamics inherent in remote care.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and validate a questionnaire measuring perceived patient-partner co-responsibility in remote care.
- To create a novel PREM that addresses the unique aspects of remote healthcare experiences.
- To understand how social dynamics influence health outcomes in remote care settings.
Main Methods
- Development of a 30-item questionnaire assessing patient-partner co-responsibility.
- Validation study involving 1000 adults (18-65 years) supported by a partner, friend, or family member in weight loss efforts.
- Statistical analyses including pairwise item correlations, Exploratory Factor Analysis, and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency.
Main Results
- A 29-item CoReCare Questionnaire was validated, identifying 6 key factors: empowerment and support, relational aspects, lack of sympathy, co-participation, accepting help, and awareness.
- The questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.66 to 0.93.
- The study successfully established a measure to assess co-responsibility in remote care contexts.
Conclusions
- The validated CoReCare Questionnaire provides a new tool for assessing patient experiences in remote care.
- This measure extends current PREMs by incorporating the crucial element of social dynamics and co-responsibility.
- The CoReCare Questionnaire can aid in improving remote care services and patient outcomes by understanding these intertwined responsibilities.
